I'm curious if anyone has come across any sort of putting aids which create/generate a straight line you can use for practicing shorter  putts (similar to a chalk line)?

I like the idea of having lines directed at the hole, especially for anything inside 6 feet, and I've used chalk lines, alignment sticks, string and knitting needles, etc. to do so. Just curious if anyone has found anything they like that accomplished the same thing.

Thanks!

Ummm ... you took my answer! :-P

I think the string and knitting needles is a perfect idea here.

Also, welcome to the site! :beer:

I use string and knitting needles.

Thanks guys!

Came across this laser alignment aid from eye line golf (http://www.eyelinegolf.com/products/groove-putting-laser-dotted-line).

Anyone see one/tried it out? Or have any thoughts on using a laser for providing a line? A little pricey but interesting concept.

      Day 4 (12 Mar 26) - nine hole session with grandson - played along side him from most fwd tees with seven  club setup -D,7w, 5,7,9,55° and putter.  Worked with him on his green side approach play.  Had some great shot making opportunities on my own, best part was seeing him make solid swings.
